Starbucks versus Dunkin' Donuts: a debate that has long plagued coffee drinkers everywhere. Dunkin' Donuts is a predominantly East Coast chain, first started in Massachusetts, with over 11,300 restaurants worldwide. Near and dear to my heart, Dunkin' has been serving the best coffee, doughnuts, and breakfast sandwiches around since 1950.

Starbucks, on the other hand, is DD's artsy, angsty cousin. Originating in Seattle, the first Starbucks was opened in 1971. Known for their overpriced, overcomplicated coffee drinks, there are over 22,500 stores worldwide guaranteed to make you miss the comfort of your neighborhood Dunkin' Donuts.
